The elections are part of the Spanish organization's efforts to renew all its governing bodies, which now fulfill their four-year term.

In the coming weeks, elections will be held in order to name new members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of the Association.

A total of 64 members have already been elected, representing almost all the provinces of Spain and a wide range of the meat sectors, from the large meat groups to small and medium-sized companies in the sector.

In the new General Meeting of ANICE are represented the Iberian processing industries, ham companies, manufacturers of all types of processed meat and prepared meat based solutions, fresh meat trading industries, slaughterhouses and cutting rooms for pigs, cattle and sheep, etc.

After the completion of this first part of the associative elections, the President of ANICE, Carlos Serrano, said that "as every four years, this renewal process reinforces the representativeness of the General Meeting of ANICE and the association that defends the interests of the Spanish meat industry before the administrations and other national and international interlocutors."

ANICE is formed by more than 600 companies active in the meat sector (slaughterhouses, cutting plants and meat processing industries), spread throughout the Spanish territory.
This makes ANICE the biggest meat Association in Spain, both by the number of members and by their joint production, which exceeds 60% of the total national production of meat products, reaching even higher values is some specialities, as the Iberian pork products, where the global production reaches 90% of the total.

ANICE has the mission of inform and advise members on the every day growing number of matters of their concern, or that can be of their interest, sending circulars regularly and also answering the questions directly presented by them.

Also ANICE represents the Spanish meat industry and defends its interest with the Spanish and E.U. Administrations and other official bodies.

To achieve this objective ANICE belong at international level to CLITRAVI, "Liaison Centre of the Meat Processing Industry in the E.U.", seated in Brussels, and to the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU, and the International Meat Secretariat IMS), a global organization with headquartes in Paris.
